Parlormaid seeks scientist! Lesbian Victorian romance featuring a maid bent on seducing an imprisoned cross-dressing inventor.

FEATHER DUSTER

Imogene Hale is a lowly parlourmaid with a soul-crushing secret. Seeking solace, she takes work at a local vampire hive, only to fall desperately in love with the amazing lady inventor imprisoned there.

LEATHER GOGGLES

Genevieve Lefoux is heartsick, lonely, brilliant, and French.

With culture, class, and the lady herself set against the match, can Imogene and her duster overcome all odds and win Genevieve’s heart, or will the vampires suck both of them dry?

New York Times best selling author Gail Carriger presents this stand-alone lesbian romance set in her popular steampunk Parasolverse, full of class prejudice, elusive equations, and paranormal creatures taking tea. Look for surprise appearances from popular Parasol Protectorate characters and the occasional strategic application of cognac.

Supernatural Society stories can be read in any order, but if you're a stickler, this book falls in between the Parasol Protectorate series and the Custard Protocol series. Want more ladies in love from Gail? Try Competence. Meet Imogene and Genevieve again in Reticence.

Delicate Sensibilities?

This story contains women pleasing women and ladies who know what they want and pursue it, sometimes in exquisite detail.

    Carriger is a fabulous author who has firmly catapulted herself to No #1 on my list of favourite novelists in the last six months. Romancing the Inventor is her latest novella, and it is just as good as everything else she puts her mind to. Mixing comedy, romance, plot, and a fabulously rich steampunk world, Carriger never hesitates to be inclusive and confront real life issues, while providing a genuinely beautiful romance, sprinkled with her amazing style of humour.

    5,0 de 5 estrellas Sexy science and fluffy female romance awaits in this delightful new entry in the Parasolverse!
    Reseñado en el Reino Unido el 4 de noviembre de 2016
    Compra verificada
    The Parasol Protectorate is a series of novels and novellas set in the same steampunk-inspired, ‘bustlepunk’ universe, connected by the reoccurring characters which inhabit it – particularly the supernatural ones – set between the 1850s to late 1890s. They are all delightfully witty, ridiculously fun adventures, with brilliantly written women and swoon-inducing men, and I’ve been an outspoken devotee of this verse since the debut of the first book, Soulless. It will thus probably not surprise you to learn I loved this story, but then, how could I not? Everything Gail Carriger writes is a joy to read.

    The love interest of Romancing the Inventor is a main character in the original PP series, and plays smaller but still significant roles in the prequel YA Finishing School series, as well as sequel Custard Protocol duology; you do not however need to know anything about these characters to begin, and there is a helpful glossary in the back to explain any unfamiliar worldbuilding terms and ideas. Longtime readers will of course appreciate when favourite characters make an appearance – the humanisation (so to speak) of a minor recurring ‘love to hate him’ character was certainly a surprise, and as a fan of outsider POV getting to see them through new eyes is always a treat. But this is great jumping on point to start reading, and would definitely recommend this as a gateway to the rest of the Parasolverse!

    Lowly born Imogene is haughtily beautiful, clever with sums, and utterly uninterested in the men of her village, or men anywhere, for that matter. She believes herself to be wrong and perverted, and seeks escape (and hopefully corruption) at the home of the local vampire queen – because after all, everyone knows perversions are part of a vampire’s allure, and acceptable among the supernatural set. There she meets Madame Lefoux, the lonely, brilliant inventor of all manner of technological marvels, currently indentured in servitude to the vampires and whose eccentricities include dressing in fashionable men’s attire and treating unworthy maids as an equal. Lefoux recognises Imogene’s untrained mathematical ability and attempts to recruit her for an assistant, but when she is denied a truly epic amount of mutual pining between the two of them begins. Imogene knows she is undeserving of the inventor’s affection but craves it anyway, and wants to take care of her. Genevieve is still suffering from a broken heart from which she fears she may never recover, and believes Imogene deserves so much more than she has to give. Meanwhile the sexual tension is off the charts, with Imogene desperate to be touched, and Genevieve unwilling to taint what she thinks is an innocent who is only interested in her as a sign of gratitude. Yeah, don’t worry. They eventually figure it out. And it is fantastic. ;- ) The sex scenes are more sensual than scandalous, but still wonderfully erotic; I’m a huge fan of scientific language as innuendo and bedroom talk, and while there could have been even more I was not disappointed here.

    Considering most of the story necessarily remained set in one place (as vampires in this verse are confined to their home territory, or ‘hive’) the plot was still engaging and integration of some of the other, non-vampire cast from previous books was very well done. I would perhaps have preferred more dialogue between Imogene and Genevieve, and certainly more (mad) science and descriptions of inventions they created together, but for a short, romantic romp full of longing looks, hastily averted glances, bosom appreciation and cups of tea it can’t be beat.

    5,0 de 5 estrellas Wonderful comedy of manners with vampires, mad inventors, and mathmatic geniuses in
    Reseñado en Estados Unidos el 3 de noviembre de 2016

    (Review appears previously on my blog, Friend of Dorothy Wilde)

    Ma ignored both the said and the unsaid. Ignored the hunger still present at the table, though the littles had eaten all that was there. "You want a good position? Marry."
    Imogene raised her eyebrows. "Positioning me on my back, yet still dusting? You're too kind."

    I was absolutely crazy for this one to be released! Mad inventors, f/f romance, wolves and vampires, and Gail Carriger's utterly delightful and amazing Parasolverse? And, not to mention, the perfect bribe for my first day Nano'ing.

    Starting with Soulless, loaned by my brother (with whom I have a symbiotic book-borrowing relationship), I've been mad for Gail Carriger's books from the start. What other genre writer is this witty, this good at world building, and this concerned with the important things? Namely, what they wore and what they ate. But kidding aside, she is a masterful world builder and terribly terribly good at dialogue, so when I heard that Genevieve, the mysterious, moody scientist from the Parasol Protectorate books, would be getting her Happily Ever After, I was thrilled.

    Imogene, a small-town girl with few ambitions beyond hiding the terrible secret of her desires, takes a position with the Countess Nadasdy hoping for the perverted ongoing that the village whispers and her mother shouts about. There, she finds dusting and drudgery and the attentions of creeps, but all changes when she meets a mysterious woman in a cravat in a pottery shed, tinkering with unknown things, a woman who "donned fine manners and big words as easily as she did a top hat" but who has carried her heartbreak half a lifetime. Genevieve discovers Imogene's mathmatical genius, and they become coworkers and comrades in arms--but will Imogene break through her emotional barriers and romance the inventor?

    Being a Parasolverse book, there are political machinations, werewolve/vampire drama, and swoony romance:

    Whatever drove Imogene, it pushed her hard enough to overcome the stuffed-down fear of discovery, the up-tilted arrogance of protection. Imogene leaned forward and kissed the inventor. Another woman. For the very first time. Full on the mouth.
    Madame Lefoux tasted of the wine she'd been sipping at supper. She smelled of vanilla, warm and buttery. And she leaned in towards Imogene, responding.
    Her lips parted on a light breath of shock. They were so very, very, soft.

    Yes, there are dark days for Imogene, whose patroness has machinations and a footman has ill intent. But, with the help of the muhjah of London and her devoted (more or less) werewolves, Imogene triumphs. And, of course, being a Gail Carriger, the book is tremendously funny:

    "We could still gertrude."
    "What?"
    "Well, I figured the opposite of rodgering is gertruding."

    Recommended entirely to steampunk fans, romance fans, mad inventor fans, and anyone looking for a getaway to a world where the wolves wear tophats and the inventors can be seduced with a bit of algebra.

    Reseñado en Países Bajos el 4 de noviembre de 2016

    In ms Carriger's world, The Parasol-verse, being different is taken rather matter of fact. Being mortal, vampire, were-animal, sexual preference, the protagonists take it all in their stride and accept it with a smile and a wink.
    In the shorter stories, like Marine Biology and this new Romancing the inventor, it appears that in normal society, be it contemporary California or Victorian countryside being different still is not as self-evident as should be.
    Romancing the inventor is the touching, witty, thrilling narrative of a country lass wishing to step out and be different, in several ways.
    It includes several of the protagonists of the regular book-series and it's temporary placement is after Timeless, but is completely stand alone and can be read without reading the series. (which would mean you miss out on some terrific books, go on, read them, they are fun)
